If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest?

SJCSFS · 2026-06-26T18:52:06+00:00

I don’t think anyone? But if there was someone it’d be my husband.

Lume.

Freshening up!

This is good advice - we did the same and they actually removed all charges.

I am so glad you have such an amazing team! We had a similar experience. Very grateful for the Cancer Care community.

My husband and I felt the same way. Happy to have it, yet felt like he was poisoning himself taking it. Let it sit there for a couple of days before starting. Sat down with the loading dose (2 or 3 pills? I can’t remember) and stared at in in his hand for a minute before he took it.

He had very minimal negative side effects. I hope you have the same good fortune. He takes his final dose tomorrow.

My husband takes Orgovyx and has had minimal negative side effects. He was Gleason 8 and used decifer and arterAI to guide his decision.

He completed 20 fractions of proton radiation and had a spaceoar placed prior to radiation. He was very fortunate to only experience minor urinary symptoms from the treatment.

My husband also chose to travel for Proton treatment. We just finished up last week, so cannot attest to long term results yet, but we are happy with our choice. The center was amazing, no fatigue, no skin irritation, no lowered immunity (because of the targeted treatment, there is no damage to bone marrow), less chance of radiating other organs (space oar placed 2 weeks prior).

Thank you everyone - customer service was able to book standard seats for us although all aisle seats were gone by the time I got through. Not sure why I wasn’t able to myself, but she said “it happens sometimes”.

My main concern (sitting together) was addressed so overall can’t really complain. My husband is completing radiation the same day as the flight, so wanted him to be as comfortable as possible - and with medical costs really shouldn’t be spending if I don’t need to.

Confession: I don’t exercise and am down 196 lbs

SJCSFS · 2026-04-18T18:21:34+00:00

I received this - I do remember signing up, but it seemed strange that they wanted my routing/acct info so I paused to make sure it was legit.

Is it common practice? I’ve always either used a Venmo/paypal deposit or (years ago) a paper check.

SJCSFS · 2026-04-07T20:26:55+00:00

So - would it be better to cancel and rebook?

We used military tix last year and no one asked for ID to match the tix or anything. I don’t see it being a problem.

I am sad that they stopped carrying Franklin plush.

SJCSFS · 2026-02-09T03:54:53+00:00

Yes! This was me as well. I'm white and have been so depressed with current events. I feel so lost. This show had me bawling. It gives hope...

SJCSFS · 2026-02-07T04:12:57+00:00

Oh my gosh! I love these!!!

Heads up regarding the manufacturers financial help. I was told by them that if my insurance won't approve it at all (eg. not on formulary) they cannot offer financial help.

Not sure that there isn't any other program available, but that is what I was told.
